2016 Map of Somerset

About this map

Somerset serves as the central hub of this Pulaski County landscape, where urban street grids transition into a dissected plateau of named knobs and hollows. The city's southward expansion is visible through Ferguson and Elihu, eventually reaching the northern shores of Lake Cumberland. This 2016 survey captures the area's intricate topographical character, featuring dozens of named elevations like Thunder Struck Knob and Lick Skillet Knob. The presence of numerous small family and community burial grounds, such as Dutton Cem and Brown Cem, provides a detailed record of the region's rural genealogy. Along the southern edge, the map documents the critical intersection of land and water at Burnside, where the Cumberland Lake shoreline shapes the local geography. Significant infrastructure, including the Lake Cumberland Regional Airport and Somerset Community Coll, underscores the area's modern development alongside traditional settlements like Alcalde and Meece.
